Approve Ordinance Granting an Amendment to an Existing Special Use Permit Allowing
for the Construction of a Three Season Room onto the Rectory Located at 337 Ridge Road
Motion Maison 2nd Croll
The application was to permit an addition to the existing rectory of St. Marks. The building existed
unchanged since its construction in 1961 and the addition of some 380 square feet was to permit the
construction of a three season room on the south side of the Rectory.
As St. Mark’s exists as a Special Use and the amendment process was used to evaluate the proposed
construction of the addition. During the public hearing the ZBA heard testimony regarding storm water
drainage and septic system functionality. A findings on the evidence presented was made in favor of the
applicant with the condition of an annual inspection of the septic system for three years.
Details of the findings of fact was forwarded to the BOT for consideration of an ordinance to accept the
recommendation of the ZBA.
McLaughlin inquires if the construction will have an effect on stormwater flow. Engineer reports that it
will not. It is noted that St. Mark's septic system has outlived its useful life and that is the reason for new
septic, but a separate permit has been issued for the septic system and is not related to this matter.
